[0002] With the increasing automation of industry and the rising demands for product packaging across various sectors, the labeling machine market has experienced rapid growth in recent years, particularly in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical, electronics, and machinery manufacturing industries, where its applications are becoming increasingly widespread. The global labeling machine market reached 43.283 billion yuan in 2023 and is projected to continue growing at a stable compound annual growth rate, potentially reaching 52.937 billion yuan by 2029. However, the labeling machine industry is facing increasingly fierce competition and new challenges. Traditional labeling machines rely on simple positioning methods, resulting in poor adaptability to changes in product position and shape, low accuracy, and the need for manual intervention and mechanical adjustments, thus limiting flexibility. Therefore, upgraded, more intelligent vision labeling machines offer the advantage of incorporating a vision system. This system allows for rapid adaptation to the labeling needs of products with different specifications and shapes. Through the vision system's recognition and adjustment, more precise labeling is achieved, demonstrating significant advantages.

[0031] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further explanation of this application. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0032] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application. As used herein, the singular form is intended to include the plural form as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, an economical modular optical system includes a front moving group, an aperture, a rear moving group, and an imaging group arranged sequentially along the incident light path; the lenses with optical power in the front moving group along the incident light path are, in sequence, a biconvex positive lens and a biconcave negative lens A; the lenses with optical power in the rear moving group along the incident light path are, in sequence, a biconcave negative lens B, a meniscus positive lens, and a plano-convex positive lens.

[0034] In this embodiment, the air distance between the front moving group and the rear moving group is 2.26 mm; the air distance between the front moving group and the aperture is 0.31 mm; and the air distance between the aperture and the rear moving group is 1.95 mm.

[0035] In this embodiment, the biconvex positive lens and the biconcave negative lens A of the forward moving group are bonded together to form an adhesive assembly.

[0036] In this embodiment, in the rear moving group, the air distance between the biconcave negative lens B and the meniscus positive lens is 0.39 mm; the air distance between the meniscus positive lens and the plano-convex positive lens is 0.1 mm.

[0037] In this embodiment, the total focal length f of the optical system, the focal length f1 of the biconvex positive lens, the focal length f2 of the biconcave negative lens A, the focal length f3 of the biconcave negative lens B, the focal length f4 of the meniscus positive lens, and the focal length f5 of the plano-convex positive lens satisfy the following relationships: 0.83 < |f1 / f| < 1.24, 2.73 < |f2 / f| < 4.51, 0.40 < |f3 / f| < 0.67, 0.99 < |f4 / f| < 1.35, 1.38 < |f5 / f| < 1.84.

[0038] In this embodiment, the refractive index of the biconvex positive lens is n1 and the Abbe number is V1, satisfying the relationships: 1.62 < n1 < 1.72, 37.5 < V1 < 41.0; the refractive index of the biconcave negative lens A is n2 and the Abbe number is V2, satisfying the relationships: 1.60 < n2 < 1.62, 34.5 < V2 < 40.5; the refractive index of the biconcave negative lens B is n3 and the Abbe number is V3, and... The following relationships are satisfied: 1.64 < n3 < 1.95, 18.0 < V3 < 20.0; the refractive index of the meniscus lens is n4 and the Abbe number is V4, satisfying the following relationships: 1.62 < n4 < 1.72, 37.5 < V4 < 41.0; the refractive index of the plano-convex lens is n5 and the Abbe number is V5, satisfying the following relationships: 1.62 < n5 < 1.72, 34.0 < V5 < 37.5.

[0039] In this embodiment, the total optical power of the forward moving group is positive. Both the object-side and image-side surfaces of the biconvex positive lens are convex, and both the object-side and image-side surfaces of the biconcave negative lens A are concave. The biconvex positive lens is a flint biconvex lens, and the biconcave negative lens A is a flint biconcave lens; the two are bonded together to form a cemented lens. The bonding of the positive optical power biconvex positive lens and the negative optical power biconcave negative lens A enhances structural reliability, reduces light reflection loss on the two cemented surfaces, prevents total internal reflection in the air gap, improves light transmittance, improves system aberrations, and ensures system performance.

[0040] The optical system uses a whole-group moving focusing method to achieve an optical imaging range of 300mm to infinity: when the object distance is 300mm, the air distance between the rear moving group M2 and the imaging group IMA is 10.8mm; when the object distance is at infinity, the air distance between the rear moving group M2 and the imaging group IMA is 10.0mm.

[0041] In this embodiment, the total optical power of the rear moving group is positive. The object-side and image-side surfaces of the biconcave negative lens B are both concave, the object-side surface of the meniscus positive lens is concave and the image-side surface is convex, and the object-side surface of the plano-convex positive lens is convex and the image-side surface is planar. The fifth lens is designed as a plano-convex positive lens, which has a simple design structure, economical manufacturing cost, and is easy to process and manufacture. Because the plano-convex lens refracts only on one side, the aberration is relatively smaller, the image quality is higher, and it can provide better optical performance, effectively ensuring the yield rate of production and assembly.

[0042] In this embodiment, the imaging group includes a flat lens and an imaging surface.

[0043] In this embodiment, the air distance between the flat lens and the imaging surface is 0.2 mm.

[0044] The optical system achieves the following technical specifications: f=16mm, relative aperture: F / #=2.8, image plane size ≤φ11mm, and working wavelength: FdC (visible).

[0045] To achieve the above design parameters, the specific parameters of each lens in the optical system of this embodiment are shown in Table 1:
